Squelch (Tone, etc)¶
With no specific signaling, "Carrier Squelch" is used (sometimes shorted as CSQ). In CHIRP, this is represented by an empty Tone/TSQL column
The following are interchangeable terms for tone-based squelch signaling:
- Tone/TSQL (CHIRP)
- CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System)
- PL (Motorola Private Line)
- QT (Quiet Tone)
- CG (Channel Guard)
The following are interchangeable terms for digital coded squelch signaling:
- DTCS (Digital Tone Coded Squelch)
- DCS (Digital Code Squelch)
- DPL (Motorola Digital Private Line)
- DQT (Digital Quiet Tone)
Mode¶
- FM: "Wide" FM for two-way communications (i.e. 5 kHz deviation)
- NFM: "Narrow" FM for two-way communications (i.e. 2.5 kHz deviation)
- WFM: "Wide" FM for broadcast communications (i.e. ~100 kHz deviation)
- AM: "Narrow" AM for two-way communications (i.e. aircraft band in the US)
- DV: Icom's digital D-STAR mode
- DN: Yaesu's SystemFusion digital voice mode
